Slideshow for Bud

A few people said they were having troubles with the video, so i used a different source. If that still is problematic...use this link (either click on link to the right or cut and paste into browser).

We thought that the words of this song were perfect and decided to throw in some pictures too! We hope you like it (take note that hopefully many pictures fit with actually what the words are talking about). We are praying for you and hope that everyone just "keeps holding on."
love greg, sara, lewis, and charlotte

ps...it takes a few minutes to download. but it's worth it.

Yes, definitely worth the download, especially for me. I can't adequately express my gratitude to you and to all who have lended so much love and support at this time. We feel your prayers, they buoy us up everyday and we feel your hope which gives us courage to keep holding on.

I never imagined that Avril Lavigne could play such a moving role in my life, but a las, miracles are occuring everyday.

I am so excited to show the blog and slideshow to Bud. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from friends, family and the community. Thank you, every single note, meal, hug and helping hand has not gone unnoticed. Bud's family and my family have stepped up and keep slugging home run after home run. Close friends haven't taken their eyes off the ball yet, and I am going to catch serious grief from my siblings for this poorly mixed metaphor so I will stop there. Thank you, Thank you and then some. We love you all, and we are so thankful to you all. It is so comforting and humbling to know how much Bud is loved.

He is not done with his work here yet, and we are excited to see what he will do next.
Love, Alyssa

Quick Update on Bud's Condition:

Bud is doing 110% BETTER than he was even three days ago when we detected that he had menegitis on top of it all.

Now, I have to clarify for my completely and totally germaphobic family, (and I am sorry, but it's true and they know it) that this type of menegitis that he has IS NOT bacterial, or viral. It is chemical, meaning that either from the accident or trauma later he may have bled into the spinal chord. Not a big deal when caught and dealt with, the body heals itself, with the help of some drugs to push it along. HE is not contagious, never was. But he was in bad shape with it for most of this week. We are SOOOOO happy to report that he is ready for visitors next week and is raring to get into Rehab.

You are the two most important people in my life. You have been there as dear friends for most of my life. I have so many beautiful memories of us that I will never forget.
Bud, anything I can do for you, your family and the business, I would.
The Lord is watching over all of you, and I am so proud at the kind of man you are.
I love you all....I will see you soon.
With Much Love
Stacy

Alyssa,

Jason H. from your Israel group here. I posted your email to the group site, and will try and get this out to the members of the group that you didn't have emails for.

We will be fasting and praying for Bud and your family tomorrow and I believe many from our group will be as well. Since I have been able to talk to so many people from our group, I have felt that the things that have happened leading up to this reunion have been inspired. That includes having people you haven't seen for years (and their kids) scattered across the country fasting and praying for your family.

Jason
